The lion's share of the volume consists of all of the rosters for the Middlesex County militia between the years 1791 and 1795. The rosters are arranged by militia company and give, first, the names of the officers, then the non-commissioned officers, and last the privates. In all, some four thousand persons are listed. Preceding the roster itself is a collection of more than a score of genealogical and biographical sketches of the Middlesex militia officer corps. Following the 1791-1795 rosters are additional rosters of some 2,000 Middlesex militiamen who served during the Revolution, as well as a number of tombstone inscriptions pertaining to Revolutionary War soldiers buried in cemeteries in Middlesex County. Still other rosters describe Middlesex veterans of the War of 1812, usually indicating the individual's rank, branch of service, and date of enlistment.

Genealogy at It's Best,
By sherry l. sutherland (rockland, ma USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Compiled Records of the Middlesex County, New Jersey, Militia, 1791-1795 : With Biographical Sketches of the Officers of Selected Companies. Including a Roster of the Middlesex County Militia, 1775-1783 (Paperback)
For the avid student of New Jersey history, this publication offers a very complete listing of the Middlesex County Militia for the years 1791-1795. I believe that this book will appeal to those individuals who trace their roots to early New Jersey counties. The descriptions and rosters herein contained serve to give a detailed overview of both the pre and post Revolutionary families who settled in and around the counties of Middlesex, Somerset and Monmouth. Additionally, I believe that this book would be invaulable as an early history reference tool and should be a part of each public library's early history section.Happy Ancestor Hunting! S.L.
